Hi.
I am not sure this is the right newsgroup, but my problem is this:
I have a ListBox with file names.  When the user double clicks on a file, I 
want my program to spawn the application associated with that file's 
extension (e.g. Adobe Acrobat Reader for *.pdf files), which in turn opens 
the file.  This is standard behaviour for e.g. Windows Explorer,
Regards,
Gudni
